BUG: MapiSendMail Incorrectly Returns Success Using Outlook Form

Article ID: 174215

Article Last Modified on 3/4/2004



APPLIES TO

  • Simple Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI)



This article was previously published under Q174215

SYMPTOMS

Using Simple MAPI under Visual C++, the MapiSendMail function should return MAPI_E_USER_ABORT if the user aborts the Send Mail dialog box by closing or pressing Escape. However, using the standard Outlook Send Mail form, MapiSendMail always returns SUCCESS_SUCCESS.

RESOLUTION

If you need to get the correct return value from MapiSendMail, you must use the "simplified form" for sending messages. You can do this by setting the "Use simplified form to send from other applications" option in the Send tab of the Exchange options dialog box.

You may also set the following registry key value to "1":

  • For Windows NT

          HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\ 
                  Current Version\Windows Messaging Subsystem\ 
                  Simple MAPI-CMC\SENDNOTEUI
                            
  • For Windows 95

          HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Messaging Subsystem\ 
                  Simple MAPI-CMC\SENDNOTEUI
